The review
Worth a try. That is where Last Chance lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Le Male Elixir Absolu.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Le Male Elixir Absolu's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 19% less than Le Male Elixir Absolu — the 2nd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
